Hey guys, my friend is heading up the Relay for Life Cancer Drive here in Prescott.I donated some things for the raffle, if you have anything you can donate, we really would appreciate it, beaded dolls, felted purses, jewelry etc. etc. Here is her note to me this morning. I'll attach a picture of what I donated today so you can see. A very good cause for sure.Thanks for your help.

I am doing fundraising for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and am co-chairing our local event here in the quad cities area of Prescott. We will be having a silent auction on the night of Relay and will feature lovely handmade gifts as well as gifts which are donated through businesses. So far we have an Arizona Sundog’s signed jersey and hockey stick. My friend, Dian, is giving us some beaded jewelry and whatever else I can squeeze out of her! I am a cancer survivor; I lost two brothers to cancer recently, as well as many dear friends and other family members. My 88 year old father was just diagnosed. Cancer is an ugly disease and I feel by volunteering my time that I will in some way be able to say that I helped ‘find a cure’. 100% of the money we raise goes to Research, Education, Advocacy and Patient Services. If anyone has something they would like to donate, please contact me. I will be advertising this auction ahead of time, in hopes of getting a lot of interest. For more information on the Relay go to www.qccrfl.com. My team is the Wild Hogz.

About Me

My whole life is about fiber and beads. My Mom used to sew for hours making all mine and my sisters clothes. My Aunt used to knit for hours and when I was 8 years old she taught me to knit and I havent stopped yet!
It wasnt until our retirement in 2002 to Prescott, Arizona, did I fall deeply in LOVE with beading and now design with seed beads and other objects such as skulls, driftwood, art dolls and anything found in nature, my favorite is Free Form Beading of any kind.
My loves are my Grandchildren and reading is a big part of my life too. I read most night at least two hours, love off road riding with our son in the Mountains here in Prescott, the quiet of the forest is just wonderful, music, the internet, charity work, friends on many yahoo groups and being with friends here and family. And who is my BEST FRIEND, my husband of course, best thing that could happen to a girl. He always pushes me to create. A day without creating is just not right!
